The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 341: Ninjas disrupt the situation, two heroes fight fiercely

Elsewhere, inside the cave, Lei Tao heard the intense gunfire and realized something was amiss. He decisively led several of his team members toward the direction of the gunfire, offering support. By then, Zheng Cheng had successfully flanked Muto Muraki and his men. He took a deep breath, raised his gun, aimed at one of the agents, and fired three times, sending the agent falling to the ground. Muto Muraki and his men, sensing a threat from their flank, quickly split two of their men and fired at Zheng Cheng.

At this critical moment, Lei Tao arrived and shouted, "Zheng Cheng, we are here!" Then he and his team launched an attack on Mutomura Shu and others. Mutomura Shu was attacked from both sides and was in a desperate situation. A look of despair appeared on his face, but he still fought stubbornly and fired crazily.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps from deep in the cave. Two ninjas, armed with short swords and daggers, approached Zheng Cheng and others like ghosts. They were agile and light-footed, making almost no sound, trying to use their strong close combat strength to catch everyone off guard. One ninja jumped high and stabbed Zheng Cheng's throat with a dagger in his hand. Zheng Cheng sensed the danger and subconsciously blocked it with the gun in his hand. With a "clang" sound, the dagger slid past the gun. The other ninja took the opportunity to rush to the team member next to him. The team member raised his gun to shoot, but the ninja kicked the gun away. Then the dagger stabbed the team member in the chest. The team member quickly dodged sideways, and the dagger stabbed his shoulder, and blood gushed out instantly.

At this moment, Lei Tao and Xu Keming arrived with support team members. Lei Tao saw the injured team member and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he drew his pistol and shot at the ninja who had stabbed the team member. The ninja reacted extremely quickly, twisting his body and letting the bullet grazed the corner of his clothes. Seeing this, Lei Tao put his pistol back into his holster, drew the dagger from his waist, and rushed towards the ninja.

Xu Keming targeted the ninja who had attacked Zheng Cheng. He brandished his prosthetic limb, which sent a whirring sound as he charged towards the ninja. The ninja faced Xu Keming's attack without fear, leaping and dodging nimbly, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Xu Keming seized the opportunity and thrust his prosthetic limb forward, grabbing the ninja's arm. The ninja struggled hard, but found himself firmly clamped by Xu Keming's prosthetic limb, unable to move. With his other hand, he raised a dagger and stabbed Xu Keming. Xu Keming dodged sideways and then kicked the ninja in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

The ninja quickly got up and rushed towards Xu Keming again. Xu Keming saw a demon-shaped sword a few steps away, so he quickly stepped forward. He saw him pick up the demon-shaped sword on the ground with his foot, twist his wrist, firmly grasp the handle, and slash horizontally. The wind from the sword whistled, forcing the ninja to retreat hurriedly. The ninja's eyes were stern, knowing that Xu Keming's attack range and power had greatly increased after he changed to the demon-shaped sword. He did not dare to attack rashly and began to move around Xu Keming, looking for flaws.

Xu Keming didn't give the ninja much time to think. He gripped his demon-headed sword with both hands, shouted, and launched his attack. With a powerful "Force Splitting Huashan" move, he slashed down from above, slashing directly at the ninja's head. The ninja quickly dodged to the side, the sharp blade glancing across his clothes, breaking him into a cold sweat.

Lei Tao was fighting a close battle with the ninja. The ninja's dagger attacks were fierce, and Lei Tao, with his flexible body and superb fighting skills, dodged the attacks again and again. He took advantage of the gap in the ninja's attack, took a step forward, and stabbed the ninja's chest with a dagger. The ninja hurriedly blocked with a dagger, and the two daggers collided with each other, sparks flying. Lei Tao pushed hard, forcing the ninja back a few steps. After the ninja stood firm, he attacked again. He rushed towards Lei Tao quickly, and the dagger flashed a cold light in front of Lei Tao's eyes. Lei Tao dodged sideways and at the same time used a hook kick combined with traditional Chinese martial arts to kick the ninja hard on the butt.

After being kicked, the ninja's body flung forward uncontrollably, the dagger in his hand falling to the ground. His hands waved frantically in the air, trying to maintain his balance. His feet moved back and forth rapidly like comical propellers, but he still stumbled back several steps. Finally stabilizing himself, he covered his butt with his hands, his face flushed red, and he cursed in broken Chinese: "Chinaman, you are not a samurai! Hitting the butt is not the behavior of a warrior!"

When Lei Tao heard this, the disdain on his face became even stronger. He sneered and said, "Why talk about warrior rules with a sneak attack ninja like you? It's enough as long as I can win." After that, he put away the dagger and assumed a fighting defensive posture.

Seeing Lei Tao like this, the ninja, though annoyed, dared not rush forward. He bent down to pick up the dagger from the ground, his eyes sinister as he slowly moved around Lei Tao, searching for an opportunity to strike. Suddenly, the ninja shouted loudly and pretended to sprint forward, but suddenly changed direction mid-sprint, lunging to Lei Tao's left, the dagger in his hand stabbing Lei Tao's weak spot like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.

Lei Tao's eyes flashed, and he shifted his footwork. With a precise "inch-cut" motion, he used his forearm to precisely knock the ninja's wrist apart. Simultaneously, he swung his body and slammed his shoulder into the ninja's chest. This "Tiger Climbing the Mountain" move was so powerful that the ninja was sent flying, right into the path of another ninja engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Xu Keming.

The two ninjas collided and fell to the ground in disarray. The ninja who had been fighting with Xu Keming was knocked unconscious by the sudden impact, and his sword was almost thrown out of his hand. Seeing this, Xu Keming didn't want to miss this golden opportunity. He shouted loudly, raised his long sword high, and with this momentum, he slashed at the two fallen men with the force of a mountain.

The ninja, knocked back by Lei Tao, reacted quickly. The moment he fell to the ground, he rolled to avoid Xu Keming's sharp sword strike. The sword slashed the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. He rose and stood back to back with his companion, watching Lei Tao and Xu Keming warily.
