178: Flying Thunder God Second Stage

Leaving Cherry Blossom City, Xiao Xing warped towards Shadow Flow City.

In less than half an hour, he arrived outside Shadow Flow City.

The moment his figure appeared, players from the Japan heard an announcement ring out.

Upon hearing that Jian Chen had appeared, the players of Shadow Flow City were instantly enraged.

As soon as they finished roaring, endless auroras illuminated the heavens and earth, and a giant mushroom cloud rose.

By the time they regained their senses, they were already in a dead state.

Bastard!

In their Soul state, they saw the scene before them reduced to ruins, both shocked and furious.

System Notification: You have killed 13,017,400 people, gaining 6.197 billion experience points!

System Notification: You have killed over 50 million people, obtaining the [God Slayer] title!

This city didn't have as many people as before, but it still dropped a considerable number of items.

Xiao Xing knew the NPCs would arrive soon, so right after the explosion, he ordered Fu Rui Pig to quickly gather the items.

He would stall them for a while later; once the gathering was almost done, he'd head to Heavenly Ninja City.

At this moment, the players in Heavenly Ninja City were beginning to feel some fear.

They had received news that Shadow Flow City had also been attacked by an atomic bomb, and they even saw the explosion video.

The video was filmed outside Shadow Flow City. The colossal mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and within the hellish city ruins, corpses lay scattered everywhere.

With two cities reduced to ruins in succession and a majority of players killed, they were already somewhat intimidated, fearing their own Divine City might be attacked next.

Although they weren't afraid of Jian Chen himself, they had to admit that the atomic bomb in his hands was too powerful.

Unless one possessed an invincible divine skill, there was simply no defense against the atomic bomb's explosion.

Upon learning that Shadow Flow City was attacked, players in Heavenly Ninja God City rushed outside the city, fearing they too would become casualties under the atomic bomb.

Above Shadow Flow City.

Xiao Xing didn't wait long before the City Lord appeared with a large number of soldiers.

The City Lord was a burly middle-aged man named [Ei Yotsuki Ai], with three golden iron rings adorning each hand.

Upon seeing Xiao Xing, his expression was one of extreme fury.

Without a single word of nonsense, he attacked immediately.

Lightning Release: Lightning Straight Line!

His figure flashed, appearing behind Xiao Xing. His hand, wreathed in violent lightning, sliced across Xiao Xing's neck without hesitation.

"Success!"

A female NPC who had come with the City Lord couldn't help but rejoice upon seeing this.

Her name was Karui. Seeing Jian Chen killed, she raised her hands in front of her chest, her expression excited.

But before she could rejoice for long, a longsword was already resting against her neck.

Instantly, Karui's expression froze, solidifying on the spot.

"What did you say was successful?"

Xiao Xing patted her shoulder with the flat of his sword, signaling her to take a closer look.

Because his speed was so fast, only now did his afterimage slowly fade away.

This City Lord's speed was indeed fast, but he was only a God-level Expert. Even if he were Divine Venerable Rank, his speed couldn't possibly surpass Xiao Xing's.

His 10x speed boost talent was no joke. Even experts above Divine Venerable might not be faster than him, let alone a mere God-level.

"H-how could you possibly dodge the City Lord's attack!"

Karui's expression was somewhat terrified.

She couldn't believe this was real.

The City Lord's Lightning Release taijutsu was extremely fast, unmatched among those of the same Rank. How could it be dodged so easily?

"Nothing's impossible. You'd better behave, or I'll finish you off."

Xiao Xing pressed the xuanyuan sword closer, planning to repeat his old trick.

He only wanted to gather more drops, not kill NPCs.

If he killed them, it would likely become a fight to the death. His current strength couldn't afford to ignore that Country Lord.

Moreover, he wanted to build a city to make money. If he went too far, they would definitely attack his city.

Defending a city was already difficult; imagine having so many NPCs attacking as well.

"Kid, you've gone too far."

Before anyone else could speak, a deep voice came from the distance.

Hearing the voice, everyone looked over.

Who else could it be but the Country Lord?

"The Country Lord is here. You're dead."

Seeing it was the Country Lord, Karui was instantly overjoyed.

She knew Country Lord Hashirama Senju was extremely powerful, a Divine Venerable-level expert. No matter how strong Jian Chen was, he couldn't possibly be a match.

Shortly after Hashirama Senju appeared, a large number of powerful experts instantly appeared behind him.

Seeing this, Xiao Xing was somewhat speechless.

Do all these people have teleportation skills?

Every single one can use instant movement, and a very high-level kind at that. Otherwise, how could they keep up with a Divine Venerable expert's pace?

"Country Lord, let me try this time!"

A blond man wearing a white cloak stepped forward first. His name was Minato Namikaze.

He glanced at the city below, then looked at Xiao Xing, his expression turning serious.

He wasn't entirely sure he could succeed, but he could try.

"Lord Jian Chen, release her, and I'll have a fair duel with you."

Minato Namikaze took out a specially made kunai, his eyes fixed intently on Xiao Xing.

This was his way of being courteous before resorting to force.

If Xiao Xing insisted on taking a hostage, they had a hundred ways to rescue her; taking hostages was basically useless.

They knew Xiao Xing's goal was to buy time to gather items, not to kill their people, which was why everyone wasn't going completely berserk.

"Fine!"

Xiao Xing sheathed his sword.

Since the other side wouldn't gang up on him, he was naturally willing to drag things out.

He had already killed Japan players; he couldn't just leave their drops behind.

Whoosh!

Seeing Karui leave, Minato Namikaze threw his kunai.

Seeing the kunai flying towards him, Xiao Xing couldn't even be bothered to dodge.

But before the kunai reached him, Minato Namikaze threw several more kunai and began forming hand seals.

Multiple Shadow Shuriken Technique!

Once the seals were complete, in an instant, the kunai transformed into thousands of streaks of light.

Like a torrential downpour, the attacks poured down towards Xiao Xing.

Xiao Xing flashed away, evading the range of the kunai rain.

However, the moment his figure steadied, two kunai had already arrived on either side of his body.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze's figure appeared.

Rasengan!

The Rasengan formed in his hand slammed towards Xiao Xing's head.

"Childish!"

Xiao Xing raised his hand and grabbed Minato Namikaze's wrist.

But just as he intended to twist Minato Namikaze's hand back, the other's figure vanished directly.

Boom!

Minato Namikaze's figure appeared on the other side, his Rasengan striking Xiao Xing's arm directly.

-1

Although it didn't break his defense, the powerful force sent Xiao Xing flying.

Before he could react, three more kunai surrounded him once again.

Flying Thunder God Stage Two: Golden Flash Technique!

A low, fierce cry rang out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!

Instantly, under Minato Namikaze's high-speed movement, countless golden lights enveloped Xiao Xing.

From a distance, it looked like a golden energy sphere; the figures of the two were no longer visible.

This visual effect was caused by Minato Namikaze's rapid back-and-forth teleportation.

-MISS

-MISS

...Dense clusters of damage numbers appeared simultaneously.

In less than 10 seconds.

Minato Namikaze exhausted his mana pool, attacking Xiao Xing millions of times, directly depleting over 2 million of his HP.
