Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 717: Chapter 715, Breakthrough during Battle

”Who are you really? How could you have so many things from the Taoist Sect?” Tokugawa Chiharu gazed at Iga Kako with a grave expression.

Although he was a ninja, he had heard of some Taoist methods, like talismans, which were considered Divine Skills of the Taoist Sect, similar in effect to ninjutsu.

”I am the one who will kill you!” Iga Kako raised her hand, launching a Fire Talisman. Blinding flames soared, resembling a small mushroom cloud.

This was followed by a deafening explosion.

A cold glint flashed in Tokugawa Chiharu’s eyes. At that moment, he felt incredibly uncomfortable, to the point of near suffocation.

He knew this was due to the extreme concentration of Fire Elemental powers, as fire and water were naturally incompatible.

”Your skills are indeed exceptional, but you still have a long way to go if you wish to kill me!” Tokugawa Chiharu pinched the spell with his hands, transforming into a dense mist.

The mist wasn’t large, but it swept toward Iga Kako like a gust of wind, snuffing out the surrounding flames instantly in an eerie manner.

Iga Kako also unleashed her ninjutsu, releasing a fireball over a meter in diameter, which hurtled toward Tokugawa Chiharu like a comet crashing into the Earth.

Yet, as soon as it touched the mist, the fireball vanished, as if an invisible black hole in the mist had swallowed it whole.

Iga Kako’s face changed abruptly, clearly not expecting Tokugawa Chiharu to have such terrifying strength. Before she could regain her composure, the mist was already upon her.

She sensed a strong feeling of impending doom.

In the next second, she felt as if she had suffered a severe blow to her chest, spitting blood as she was thrown back, her face haggard to the extreme.

”I will help you!” Pingliang Xiangzhi instinctively drew her longsword, wanting to help her dear friend defeat Tokugawa Chiharu, but Xu Wendong grabbed her wrist.

”Don’t go. This is Jiazi’s battle, and no one can help her.”

Though Pingliang Xiangzhi’s skills had improved quickly, they were still limited to the realm of ordinary warriors. With her current skills, she couldn’t even defeat a ninja of Iga Kako’s level, let alone someone as powerful as Tokugawa Chiharu.

”But... Jiazi seems to be injured. I’m worried she might not be able to beat Tokugawa Chiharu.” Pingliang Xiangzhi was filled with anxiety, fearing for her dear friend’s safety.

”We must trust that Jiazi can turn the tide.” Xu Wendong’s eyes appeared calm; there was one thing he didn’t say: if Iga Kako really couldn’t match her opponent, he would certainly intervene.

In any case, as long as he was there, no one was allowed to hurt his woman.

”Why can he take on the form of mist?”

Although Iga Kako had been blown away, her heart remained unusually calm, staring seriously at the mist approaching her.

”Is this the difference between an Earth Ninja and a Master Ninja?”

”If Tokugawa Chiharu can take on the form of mist, can’t I take on the form of fire?”

With this thought, Iga Kako let out a soft yet forceful shout, bursting forth with a terrifying aura. Threads of flame enveloped her body, making her appear as if she was on fire.

At the same time, her expression became pained. Even as a fire element ninja, she felt an overwhelming agony at that moment.

Yet, she gritted her teeth, letting the blazing flames engulf and burn her.

For Iga Kako understood the difference between an Earth Ninja and a Master Ninja.

To break through the shackles, one must be consumed by the flames, transforming into fire, rather than merely controlling it.

There was a fundamental difference between the two.

”Die!” Tokugawa Chiharu clearly saw that Iga Kako had figured out how to step into the realm of the Earth Ninja. If she indeed broke through the barrier, he wouldn’t be sure he could defeat her.

After all, the surrounding flames were intensely strong.

Accompanied by Tokugawa Chiharu’s angry roar, the mist transformed into a sharp longsword, cutting through the sky like a meteor and piercing through Iga Kako’s chest.

”Jiazi!”

Pingliang Xiangzhi exclaimed in shock, her eyes full of amazement, not expecting her dear friend to succumb to the opponent.

None of the ninjas from the Mito Family expected this outcome, hearts filled with deep resentment.

Meanwhile, the ninjas of the Tokugawa Clan were all filled with immense excitement, as their leader had killed the formidable Iga Kako.

”Don’t worry, Jiazi isn’t dead.” Xu Wendong, with a hint of a smile, watched the upright, graceful figure within the flames.

Though her chest had been pierced by the longsword, no blood flowed, which in itself was illogical.

The next moment,

A weak flame spread from the wound on Iga Kako’s chest, and she herself transformed into a burning fire.

Though surrounded by raging flames, this singular flame covering her gave off an incredibly enchanting impression.

”So, to step into the realm of the Earth Ninja, one must endure the backlash of their natal element, huh? That doesn’t seem so difficult!” Iga Kako’s excited voice emerged from the darkness.

Tokugawa Chiharu returned to his human form, eyes cold, never imagining Iga Kako could comprehend the breakthrough method, let alone achieve it in battle.

He himself had tried many times before finally breaking through the barrier.

”Even if you’ve stepped into the realm of the Earth Ninja, you are still no match for this old man!” Tokugawa Chiharu shouted in anger as he pinched the spell with his hands. A booming roar like a massive tidal wave echoed within his body.

Immediately, the Water Element in the surrounding atmosphere became intensely concentrated.

”Even as an Earth Ninja, and with such a strong presence of Fire Element here, killing you isn’t difficult!” Iga Kako retorted dismissively, her eyes brimming with fierce battling spirit.

In the next moment, all surrounding flames converged toward her and eventually merged into her body, though strands of flame still cloaked her like armor woven from fire.

In contrast, Tokugawa Chiharu was enveloped by a radiance of water.

”Die!”

Iga Kako shouted angrily. As she rushed toward Tokugawa Chiharu, a longsword burning with flame mysteriously appeared in her hands.

Swish!

The longsword sliced through the air, erupting with an ear-piercing sonic boom.

Tokugawa Chiharu dodged Iga Kako’s fatal strike, and then he pinched the spell with his hands, trying to manipulate the blood within Iga Kako.

However, he failed because, as an equally powerful figure in the Earth Ninja realm, Iga Kako now exuded a stronger aura than his, and without any wounds, he couldn’t manipulate her blood at all.

Just as he hadn’t yet reacted, Iga Kako’s longsword swiftly attacked, breaking through Tokugawa Chiharu’s defenses and fiercely piercing his chest, splattering crimson blood mist...

Witnessing this scene, the ninjas from the Tokugawa Clan were all frozen in place, their eyes filled with horror, realizing their Clan Leader had been defeated by Iga Kako.
