Almighty Genius

Chapter 1819 - 1430: Sly and Cunning!

Qin Fang didn't care at all, leisurely swimming in the water, showing no signs of poisoning, nor any intention of coming ashore, just sarcastically sneering at Miyamoto Musashi, making the old fellow so furious it was as if smoke would come out of his ears.Miyamoto Musashi's Poison Dragon Juice was not specifically prepared for Qin Fang; it was likely intended for his enemies. From Miyamoto Musashi's words earlier, it wasn't hard to infer that among his enemies were a group of Water Shadow Ninjas.

The Yagyu family are all expert swordsmen, so they can basically be ruled out. Thus, the Water Shadow Ninjas should be from the Ando family.

"Ando family, Water Shadow Ninja…"

Qin Fang silently noted this in his heart.

Although most of Japan's ninjas are concentrated in various great ninja sects, some families are essentially ninja families. Originally splintered from major sects, they have grown stronger, even surpassing their original sects...

If Qin Fang's estimation is correct, the Ando family should belong to this type of families...

Japan's Water Shadow Ninjas are not very powerful; at least among the major ninja sects, there seems to be no sect that specializes in Mizukage Ninjutsu...

However, from Miyamoto Musashi's words, the Ando family seems to have such a group of Water Shadow Ninjas, at least one at the grandmaster-level tier.

Otherwise, Miyamoto Musashi wouldn't be so apprehensive, even obtaining such a rare poison as Poison Dragon Juice.

It's not surprising; Miyamoto Musashi is a Mist Concealment Ninja, and despite his formidable strength, he is quite wary of Water Shadow Ninjas.

Mist Concealment Ninjutsu faces an inherent disadvantage against Mizukage Ninjutsu. Although Miyamoto Musashi can suppress his opponents with overpowering strength, if there are more experts like this, Miyamoto Musashi could suffer.

But if he uses Poison Dragon Juice, then not to mention a grandmaster-level Water Shadow Ninja, even a Great Grandmaster Rank Water Shadow Ninja couldn't withstand it.

However, Miyamoto Musashi had a good plan, but unexpectedly, he didn't meet any Water Shadow Ninjas from the Ando family; instead, he attracted Qin Fang and his group!

Qin Fang's plan was quite similar to what Miyamoto Musashi had anticipated, but Qin Fang was not a Water Shadow Ninja, and even the Poison Dragon Juice prepared by Miyamoto Musashi was useless against him, putting the cunning Miyamoto Musashi in a passive position...

Miyamoto Musashi's face turned quite unsightly as he stood by Fulong Pond, quietly watching Qin Fang in the water, with an inexplicable expression, pondering something.

However, from his reaction, it seemed he was contemplating or waiting for something...

Yet, the fact that the Poison Dragon Juice failed to affect Qin Fang left him quite frustrated, and Qin Fang's mockery only made him more enraged.

But to eliminate Qin Fang, it seems the only option is to jump into the water and fight Qin Fang, otherwise, he really can't deal with someone like Qin Fang...

"Miyamoto Musashi, if you just want to drag this out with me, I don't mind a bit; I'm just afraid you won't hold up... Don't forget, you've been struck by my Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, and your strength has been greatly compromised. If your enemies arrive, you might not make it even if I don't take action!"

At this time, Qin Fang added fuel to the fire.

Miyamoto Musashi decided to use Poison Dragon Juice, such a precious poison, to quickly eliminate Qin Fang.

After all, he was hit by the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, and if he didn't quickly retreat to meditate and force those Cowhair Fine Needles out, it would soon cause severe internal injuries.

His previous paralysis was feigned, but if those Cowhair Fine Needles caused internal injuries, the damage wouldn't be much less than actual paralysis.

If that time came, and his enemies came for him, Miyamoto Musashi doubted he had the ability to resist; his enemies' strength was considerable, after all.

Thinking of this, Miyamoto Musashi's first reaction was to immediately dive in and kill Qin Fang, then go into retreat for recovery. Thıs content belongs to NoveI(F)ire.net

But as he was about to step into the water, he suddenly withdrew, remembering he had poured Poison Dragon Juice into the pond.

Poison Dragon Juice might not harm Qin Fang, but its toxicity was undeniable, and it would be detrimental if it affected him.

However…

"Could it be that the poison was really neutralized by him?"

Miyamoto Musashi's toe had touched the water, but he didn't feel anything unusual. Given the toxicity of Poison Dragon Juice in water, this was impossible unless... the Poison Dragon Juice's toxicity had been neutralized by Qin Fang!

Thinking of this, Miyamoto Musashi's face turned grim, as if he'd seen a ghost...

"Hmph... Since you're so eager to die, I will fulfill your wish!"

Repeatedly provoked by Qin Fang, Miyamoto Musashi's anger was unbearable, and he finally got really angry.

In a blur, Miyamoto Musashi vanished again, activating his Mist Concealment Ninjutsu.

Qin Fang, however, remained unphased. Miyamoto Musashi thought himself well-hidden, but his presence had never disappeared from Qin Fang's sight.

Rustle, rustle, rustle~~

Almost immediately, from a corner of the pond bank, came such a sound, and shadows swiftly rushed towards Qin Fang.

"Playing with hidden weapons against a Tang Sect disciple? Are you out of your mind…"

Seeing these hidden weapons, Qin Fang's face showed an incredibly mischievous expression, chuckling as he mocked, while quickly snatching all incoming projectiles with lightning speed...

Indeed, he took them!

Miyamoto Musashi launched about a dozen hidden weapons, yet none hit Qin Fang; instead, all ended up in Qin Fang's hands.

Despite some hidden weapons glinting with a blue shimmer, indicating their potent toxicity, Qin Fang still lightly held them, showing no hint of fear.

Yet Miyamoto Musashi seemed unconcerned, even with Qin Fang's mockery, he showed no reaction.

"Feint?"

Qin Fang paused slightly. After Miyamoto Musashi fired his hidden weapons, he shifted position, now resting stably on a near rock wall behind Qin Fang, causing barely a ripple...

As Qin Fang realized this, Miyamoto Musashi transformed into a faint white mist, swiftly swooping towards Qin Fang, skimming over the surface of Fulong Pond, incredibly fast and eerie...

"Miyamoto Musashi, if I were you... I definitely wouldn't sneak attack at this moment!"

Qin Fang naturally noticed this, but remained unhurried, turning instead to face the direction of Miyamoto Musashi's hidden presence.

"What do you mean?"

Miyamoto Musashi paused, instinctively questioning how Qin Fang saw through his movements, but it was clear Qin Fang had already discovered him.

Moreover, he was now very close to Qin Fang, almost within reach. Even if exposed, it didn't matter much, so he disregarded this.

"No particular meaning… Just that you… are about to die!"

Qin Fang said calmly, his tone slow, until the last word turned cold and fierce...

Almost before Qin Fang finished speaking, the water's surface of Fulong Pond suddenly rippled strangely, then a massive creature burst forth, swallowing Miyamoto Musashi whole... (To be continued.
