The purple-haired female ninja showed no fear, parrying the short blade with one swing of her sword, and kicking out with her other foot, the tip of her high heel directly hitting the opponent's left kneecap.
With a soft "crack" sound.
The Underground Merchant's kneecap immediately caved in, and he himself knelt down.
"Ugh—"
He cried out in pain, clutching his leg, veins throbbing on his forehead!
That kick had rendered him unable to fight!
"Damn it!"
Supervisor Donggang was both shocked and scared at the sight.
He was surprised by how strong the woman in front of him was, and how amazing her figure was!
He was scared that his secret had been discovered by the Demon-Suppressing Ninja, and given their temperament, his fate would either be life imprisonment or death!
Facing the threat of death, the Underground Merchant, who was being trampled under the female ninja's foot, suddenly erupted, breaking free from his restraints.
The female ninja's figure was pushed back half a meter by this sudden immense force.
Just as she was about to raise her sword to kill, the Underground Merchant grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it towards her eyes.
"Despicable!"
The female ninja cursed, quickly closing her eyes to block her vision.
At the same time, the Underground Merchant and Supervisor Donggang took the opportunity to flee!
The purple-haired female ninja was about to open her eyes and give chase when another brick flew towards her, forcing her to dodge first.
"Bang—"
Supervisor Donggang and the Underground Merchant ducked into the nearby bushes, disappearing without a trace.
The purple-haired female ninja narrowed her long, slender eyes, carefully discerning for a moment, and finally locked onto one of the paths, chasing in that direction.
Supervisor Donggang followed the Underground Merchant, climbing through the window of the abandoned warehouse and heading east.
The two rushed straight into the dense mountain forest.
Along the way, the Underground Merchant didn't forget to curse Supervisor Donggang vehemently, "You're a damn waste! You already drank the strengthening potion. What are you afraid of her for?"
"It's easy for you to say, that woman is a Demon-Suppressing Ninja!"
Supervisor Donggang growled, "Didn't you used to tell me that Demon-Suppressing Ninjas are the greatest natural enemies of demons?"
"That was before."
The Underground Merchant scoffed upon hearing this, "It's different now, she's just an apprentice Demon-Suppressing Ninja, what the hell is that?"
"But she's very strong!"
Supervisor Donggang said dejectedly, "And she's super fast, we can't possibly deal with her!"
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of?"
The Underground Merchant sneered, "If it were someone like Asha Ji, we might not have a chance at all."
"But this girl clearly lacks combat experience; she must be a newcomer who just joined the Against the Demon recently."
The Underground Merchant's gaze was fierce, and he said, "Two against one, the advantage is mine. Before she grows up, we'll team up and take care of her."
Supervisor Donggang listened, then quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, absolutely not. I'm very timid, I'm most afraid of getting into trouble."
"Useless trash!"
The Underground Merchant raised his hand and slapped him across the face, saying angrily, "I'm telling you, we both must cooperate, otherwise you'll die without a burial place."
"Don't be so agitated, let's talk nicely."
Supervisor Donggang rubbed his stinging cheek and said, "But you have to promise me one thing."
"You actually dare to make conditions with me?"
The Underground Merchant glared at him fiercely, "Speak."
"You must promise me two things."
Supervisor Donggang held up two fingers, his expression serious, and said, "First, the fact that I colluded with you has been discovered by humans, and there will be no place for me in human cities. So, after this is done, you must take me to your world to live."
"And the second?"
"The second is, can that million be waived?"
Supervisor Donggang rubbed his hands together, flattering the Underground Merchant as he leaned closer, smiling, "If not, I can work as your assistant, too."
"Well..."
"Let's get this done first."
Saying that, the Underground Merchant pulled Supervisor Donggang into a tree hollow and hid.
He took out a bottle of pink liquid from his bag, handed it to Supervisor Donggang, and instructed, "This is an aphrodisiac. Later, you go out and lure her, and when she's not paying attention, sprinkle it on her."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Supervisor Donggang lewdly licked his lips, revealing a cunning smile, and turned to walk towards the tree opening.
Just as Supervisor Donggang was about to go out, he stopped again, vigilantly staring at his surroundings.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll go lure her, what will you do?"
Supervisor Donggang asked.
"Hehe, of course I was covering for you."
The Underground Merchant smiled sinisterly, and said in an extremely exaggerated voice, "Once it's successful, I'm going to roll around in bed with her~"
Supervisor Donggang's face twitched, and he hurriedly left the tree hole.
...
"Hmm?"
The purple-haired ninja frowned. She sensed a disturbance from behind a tree beside her, and immediately drew her sword, swinging a slash forward.
Whoosh—!
The fierce sword energy powerfully severed three large trees, cutting down all the weeds on the ground.
"What?"
Seeing the scene before her, the female ninja was slightly surprised, then showed a displeased expression.
Meow~
A startled black cat leaped onto a large tree branch. It stood pressed against the branch, its fur bristling, alert to its surroundings. Clearly, the messy movements just now were caused by it.
The female ninja reined in her aura, walked over slowly, and squatted in front of the black cat.
She raised her hand and stroked the black cat's head, saying soothingly, "Sorry, I scared you."
What the heck~
After all that, it was just a cat.
Looking at the black cat's departing back, the female ninja sighed and continued to search for the whereabouts of the Underground Merchant and Supervisor Donggang.
After all, this was her first mission, and she had to complete it perfectly.
Little did she know, after she left,
the black cat returned, its blood-red eyes fixed on the direction she had left, flickering with eerie, dark light, as if thinking about something.
"I didn't expect Qiushan Rinzi to come here too. Looking at her appearance, she seems to be a newcomer."
...
As Qiushan Rinzi went deeper, she suddenly heard the faint cry of the Underground Merchant, "Hey!"
Qiushan Rinzi's ears twitched. She quickly dodged sideways, and the sharp blade in her hand swung down abruptly, cutting an arrow in half.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A series of arrows cut through the air and shot over.
After deftly dodging a round of attacks, Qiushan Rinzi, holding her long saber, rushed out of the bushes.
She looked up, only to find Supervisor Donggang, who had been waiting there for a long time, suddenly stood up and threw a pink potion bottle over, grinning viciously, "Go to hell!"
Qiushan Rinzi's expression hardened, and she immediately unleashed a flash of saber light.
The flying potion bottle was instantly split in two, and the liquid inside sprayed out, splashing on her face and exposed hands.
In just an instant, Qiushan Rinzi felt her body become hot, as if her entire body was burning with flames, making her feel uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and endured her body's reaction, raising her long saber and slashing towards Supervisor Donggang.
