Chapter 1818: Chapter 1702: What Kind of Weird Codename Is This?

"Ino-Style Elite Ninja, Kiyoda Chushu."

The man declared his identity with arrogance, as if he was very confident in his title.

Indeed, Song Yun had heard the name Kiyoda Chushu before.

Ino-ryu is one of the strongest factions among the rb ninja sects, its power a level above other factions, with elite upper-level ninjas whose skills even approach those of the Iga Clan’s leader.

Kiyoda Chushu is a master within Ino-ryu, renowned worldwide.

It is rumored that his skills rival those of the leaders of the Iga Sect and Iga Clan, if not slightly superior.

"So, you are Kiyoda Chushu. No wonder you’re so arrogant."

Song Yun looked at Kiyoda Chushu. Despite his opponent’s reputation, he showed no hint of fear.

Kiyoda Chushu toyed with his short sword, sneering, "Song Yun, you seem very calm. Do you really think you’re unbeatable, able to defeat me?"

Song Yun replied impatiently, "Cut the crap. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Kiyoda Chushu said sternly, "You killed Fujiwara no Saku and seven upper-level ninjas of the Iga Clan. This is a provocation against our rb ninja path. As the strongest ninja sect, we, Ino-ryu, must handle this matter."

Song Yun said, "No need to find such high-sounding reasons. I think you just want to kill me and then rightfully take the Iga Clan under your wing, right?"

Ino-ryu indeed planned this. As long as they dealt with the assassin of Fujiwara no Saku, they could officially integrate the Iga Clan without other factions gossiping.

And once they absorbed members of the Iga Clan, Ino-ryu’s power would further increase, claiming the top position among rb ninja paths.

Song Yun’s words undoubtedly exposed Kiyoda Chushu’s true intentions.

Kiyoda Chushu did not deny it, saying coldly, "So what if that’s the case? Anyway, today, you’re dead."

Song Yun laughed, "Then try and see if you can kill me."

"Hmph!"

Kiyoda Chushu snorted coldly, swinging his knife towards Song Yun’s neck.

The smoking room was not large. Kiyoda Chushu forced Song Yun into a corner, with the wall behind him, leaving Song Yun no room to escape.

However, Song Yun had no intention of dodging.

He went forward to meet Kiyoda Chushu, his left hand forming a knife hand, slicing towards his opponent’s wrist like lightning.

He was very fast, quick to react.

Kiyoda Chushu knew Song Yun was a master, but he hadn’t expected his speed to exceed his own by so much. With a look of surprise, he swiftly reversed his grip, placing the knife against his own wrist, blade facing out.

In this way, Song Yun’s knife hand would strike Kiyoda Chushu’s short sword.

Seeing this, Song Yun instantly switched his move, grabbing at Kiyoda Chushu’s wrist, clutching and squeezing the joint acupoints tightly.

Kiyoda Chushu felt his right hand go numb, and the short sword slipped from his grip.

Song Yun caught the falling short sword with his other hand, pointing it upwards, stabbing towards Kiyoda Chushu’s hand.

Puchi.

Kiyoda Chushu’s palm was pierced, blood splattering.

Taking advantage of the situation, Song Yun kicked out. Kiyoda Chushu hurriedly defended, but his right hand was impaled, the short knife still lodged, so he could only use his left hand.

This was Song Yun’s full-strength attack; one hand from Kiyoda Chushu couldn’t block it.

Crack.

Kiyoda Chushu’s left hand bone fractured from Song Yun’s kick, sending him flying into the wall.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Both of Kiyoda Chushu’s hands were injured, completely losing his ability to fight Song Yun.

He had been full of confidence, yet hadn’t expected Song Yun to be so strong.

Even a Ino-ryu leader with inner strength wasn’t this powerful.

He looked with fear at Song Yun, saying heavily, "How can this be? How can your combat power be so strong? Which sect are you a disciple of?"

In Kiyoda Chushu’s eyes, Song Yun’s combat prowess clearly marked him as a disciple of a great sect.

Song Yun shook his head, smiling, "You’d be disappointed. I’m self-taught."

Kiyoda Chushu had a look of disbelief, but dared not say much more.

He gritted his teeth, lowered his pride, and said to Song Yun, "Song Yun, let’s admit I was wrong today. As long as you let me go, I promise Ino-ryu will never trouble you again."

Hearing this, Song Yun couldn’t help but find it amusing.

He countered, "If I came to kill you and you defeated me, would you let me go?"

No.

This was Kiyoda Chushu’s inner answer, but he dared not say it aloud.

Song Yun watched Kiyoda Chushu’s trembling body, sneering, "I’ll ask you two questions. Answer them, and I’ll spare your life."

"Really!?"

Kiyoda Chushu looked surprised, confused by Song Yun’s sudden change of attitude, yet this was his only chance at life.

"Of course it’s true. I mean what I say. I’ll definitely spare your life."

Song Yun promised sincerely, then asked, "Do you know about the Blood Flow Path?"

"I know."

Kiyoda Chushu nodded quickly.

Song Yun said, "Then tell me about the Blood Flow Path."

Kiyoda Chushu’s eyes darted as he explained, "The Blood Flow Path is an ancient sect passed down for thousands of years, and it’s the ancestor of our rb ninja paths. Now, they’ve issued an order in rb, saying whichever faction can find ancient secret texts and present them to the Blood Flow Path can return to it and gain more advanced cultivation methods..."

Song Yun listened to Kiyoda Chushu’s account, finding it quite similar to what Fujiwara no Saku had said, containing no useful information.

He then asked, "Where is the Blood Flow Path located?"

Kiyoda Chushu shook his head, "I don’t know. They’ve only sent an envoy to rb to communicate with various sects. Unless we produce ancient secret texts, we will never know where the Blood Flow Path is."

Song Yun said, "So the Blood Flow Path is quite mysterious. But how do you know that the envoy is indeed from the Blood Flow Path?"

Kiyoda Chushu said, "At first, people from all the sects didn’t believe it. The leaders of Iga Sect and Shiyu School even challenged the envoy, but were each defeated in one move. Later, the envoy showcased a few skills, all of which were legendary techniques of the rb ninja paths, so everyone believed they were indeed from the Blood Flow Path."

Defeating the sect leaders in one move marked a true master.

Song Yun raised an eyebrow, asking Kiyoda Chushu, "How does the Blood Flowing Path envoy compare to me?"

Kiyoda Chushu hesitated, then spoke, "From what I’ve observed, the Blood Flow Path envoy is a bit stronger."

Hearing this, Song Yun wasn’t surprised at all.

If the Blood Flow Path truly has thousands of years of history, then this sect must be extremely powerful. It was only natural that the envoy’s strength surpassed Song Yun’s. Song Yun didn’t feel arrogant or complacent just because he was in the top three on the War God List.

Song Yun asked again, "What is the name of the Blood Flow Path envoy?"

Kiyoda Chushu said, "The envoy didn’t reveal his name, only mentioned a code name, ’Ghost’."

Ghost?!

What kind of a strange codename is that?
