Chapter 1210: Opening

The shadowy figure, however, refused to give up. With a strange laugh, it combined its illusion with a real attack, sending waves of black energy hurtling towards the group. Shangguan Mo quickly formed hand seals, summoning a massive lightning shield to block the attack. But the shadowy figure's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and cracks began to appear on the shield.

Just as the lightning shield was about to shatter, several jonin from the village arrived to support them. Together, they unleashed a powerful sealing technique, attempting to contain the shadow. Sensing danger, the shadow suddenly vanished from view. Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered that the phantoms of the traitorous ninja had begun to materialize, charging deeper into the village. Shangguan Mo and Jingtie Leibao gave chase without hesitation, knowing the battle was far from over and that the phantoms must be eliminated before they could wreak further havoc. Meanwhile, the mysterious shadow was brewing a new conspiracy somewhere. While pursuing the phantoms, Shangguan Mo and Jingtie Leibao discovered that the materialized phantoms had split into several smaller groups, each charging towards important buildings and strongholds in the village. Faced with an urgent situation, they had no choice but to split up. Shangguan Mo rushed to the village's ninja academy, filled with young students who must not be harmed by the phantoms.

When he arrived, Phantom had already engaged the school's teachers and some students. Shangguan Mo shouted loudly, instantly unleashing a powerful lightning ninjutsu. Bolts of lightning rushed towards Phantom like a dragon. Phantom was struck by the lightning and staggered, but quickly recovered and continued his frantic attack.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a huge lightning bolt struck down. The mysterious black shadow unexpectedly reappeared. It looked at Shangguan Mo coldly, "You think you can stop me?" After that, it formed seals with its hands, and more phantoms emerged from all directions, surrounding Shangguan Mo. Shangguan Mo clenched his fists, his eyes determined. He knew that this fierce battle had just begun. Shangguan Mo took a deep breath and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind. He found an opportunity and performed the body-flash technique. He instantly appeared behind the black shadow and raised his hand to make a fierce lightning strike. The black shadow reacted very quickly and dodged to the side. Shangguan Mo's attack missed. The black shadow slapped back with a palm, and a powerful dark energy attacked Shangguan Mo. Shangguan Mo hurriedly wrapped his arm with lightning chakra to resist, but was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

At this moment, the teachers and students in the school also adjusted their states, and performed their own ninjutsu to join the battle. For a moment, the lights of various ninjutsu intertwined and illuminated the dim sky. Shangguan Mo took this opportunity to condense the power of lightning once again, ready to give the black shadow a fatal blow. He shouted and rushed towards the black shadow. Wherever the lightning passed, the phantoms disappeared. Seeing this, the black shadow cast an illusion again, making the surrounding environment distorted. But Shangguan Mo relied on his firm will and tried to resist the influence of the illusion, approaching the black shadow step by step. Just when he was about to approach the black shadow, the black shadow suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only a gloomy sentence: "This is just the beginning." And those phantoms gradually dissipated in the air. However, Shangguan Mo knew that the danger was far from over. Shangguan Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when the ground suddenly shook violently and a group of new phantoms emerged from the ground. They looked weird and exuded an aura that was more powerful than before. It turned out that the black shadow had disappeared just now in order to summon a stronger phantom. The teachers and students of the school were once again caught in a tense battle, but the new phantom was very powerful and many people began to get injured.

Shangguan Mo was extremely anxious. He concentrated his mind and combined the lightning chakra with his own
