Chapter 1209 A tough battle

At this time, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on Shangguan Mo's shoulder. Shangguan Mo took the letter from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it and took a look. His face became solemn. It turned out that the village had received news that a powerful rebel force was approaching the village and the situation was very critical.

"It looks like we're going to have another tough battle." Shangguan Mo stroked the Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard's head and said, "We have to go back to the village quickly." The Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard seemed to understand what he said. It growled, squatted down and let Shangguan Mo ride on its back.

Shangguan Mo clutched the Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard's fur and shouted, "Let's go!" The Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard took off like an arrow, its silver fur dancing in the wind. They raced along at lightning speed, and thanks to the Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard's speed, they quickly returned to the village.

The village has already prepared for battle, and the villagers are on high alert. Shangguan Mo joins the defense team with the Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard, and a major battle is about to begin.

Before long, the rebel ninjas surged forward like a tide, their eyes fierce and their bodies emitting an evil aura. The leader, a tall ninja with a hideous scar on his face, laughed arrogantly and said, "You think you can stop us?"

The battle erupted instantly, the cries of killing deafening. Shangguan Mo swiftly unleashed his ninjutsu, bolts of lightning shooting from his hands, striking the rebels. Not to be outdone, the Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard charged into the enemy group, tearing at the rebels with its razor-sharp claws.

However, the rebel ninjas were numerous and formidable, and the defending team gradually began to struggle. Just then, a brilliant flash of light appeared, and several experts from the village arrived to support them. They fought alongside Shangguan Mo and the others, and the situation gradually stabilized.

Shangguan Mo knew that he couldn't delay too long, so he gathered all his chakra and prepared to unleash his ultimate move. He formed seals with his hands, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds. A huge lightning column fell from the sky, knocking down a large number of rebel ninjas. Seeing this, the rebel ninjas began to panic. With the joint attack of everyone, the rebel ninja forces were finally repelled, and the village was out of danger. Just when everyone thought the battle was over and breathed a sigh of relief, a strange black shadow suddenly rose from the body of the knocked-down rebel ninja. The black shadow gradually condensed into a blurry-faced person, exuding an evil aura that was even stronger than the previous rebel ninja. "Huh, you think it's over? Too naive." The black shadow made a sinister voice.

Shangguan Mo frowned, sensing a force far beyond that of the previous rebels. The Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard growled warily, its fur bristling. The village's experts redeployed their positions, ready for battle.

The black shadow waved his hands, and more illusory rebel ninjas instantly appeared around him. These phantoms were extremely fast and rushed into the defensive team in the blink of an eye. Shangguan Mo used ninjutsu again, but it had little effect on these phantoms. Just as the situation was getting tense again, an old ninja in the village shouted, "This is an illusion. Everyone concentrate and break it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone concentrated their chakra, attempting to break through the illusion. Shangguan Mo also connected with the Crystal Iron Thunder Leopard, and together, they finally found the black shadow's weakness. Shangguan Mo seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning, striking the black shadow directly. The shadow howled in pain and gradually dissipated, taking the illusions with it. Peace returned to the village, and this battle made everyone realize that danger might not be far away.
